Summary: Fundraising Demystified
Review: Tony Poderis reminds all of us who have ever been development officers that it's not rocket science. In his words, "It's just hard work." He's right. Poderis's "Nine Basic Truths of Fundraising" are worth the price of the book alone. But then he goes on to tell us chapter and verse just how to organize a development department, run a fundraising campaign, and work with volunteer leadership. With over 30 years of fundraising experience, Poderis knows what he writes about. He's done it all and run a major operation as development director for the Cleveland Orchestra. Newcomers and old hands alike will derive tremendous benefit from this book, and every board member should read the Nine Basic Truths. This just could be the best book ever written on fundraising.
